Shauna had used them before, but Asda have recently changed the brand and style. Shauna said: “She had had them when she was a new-born and there were never any problems.”

But this time it was different, Shauna said Summer-Rae started having a reaction to the nappies within hours of putting them on.

She said: “She started getting blisters, like nappy rash but worse. It actually turned into bleeding that night when they popped. She doesn’t normally cry, she was good while she was teething. But I couldn’t get her to settle.

“The bleeding was worse the next day – she was bleeding constantly down there so I got an emergency doctor’s appointment.”

It wasn’t until Shauna got to the doctor’s that she said she found out the nappies might be to blame.

“He (the doctor) said they were chemical burns and he’d never seen burns like it before. He said it was her nappy that was causing it. He was disgusted. He prescribed her some steroid cream. It took her 10 days to get better and she still has scars to this day.”

Shauna posted a picture of her baby’s rash on a Facebook group for mums, she said over 100 other mums commented saying they had had similar problems with the nappies.

After she got back from the doctors Shauna contacted Asda, she was furious and wanted to make sure no other babies were hurt.

After three weeks with no response Shauna’s mum Pamela Pascoe went into Asda Bedminster to complain again, but after hearing nothing for a further two weeks she went in to complain a third time.

Finally last Monday, after five weeks of waiting, Shauna said she received a phone call from a manager at Asda Bedminster offering her £20 by way of compensation.

Pamela was outraged: “It’s diabolical, to offer her £20 after all that. I’ve never seen burns on a baby like that. The screams were terrible,” she said.

Shauna says the ordeal left her frightened, she said: “It was scary, she’s my first child and I could do nothing for her.”

Lizzy Massey, VP Own Brand at Asda "We take any complaints about our products seriously and unfortunately, due to human error, we did not properly log Ms Pascoe’s complaint with us – for which we are truly sorry.

"Now we are aware of her complaint we are trying to contact with her to understand what happened.”
